From 7543c1de84ed93c6769c9f20dced08a522af8912 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yinghai Lu Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 16:04:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86-32: compute initial mapping size more accurately Impact: simplification We only need to map the kernel in head_32.S, not the whole of lowmem. We use 512MB as a reasonable (but arbitrary) limit on the maximum size of the kernel image. Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Signed-off-by: H.
